The beauty, harmony, balance, and providence evident throughout the earth are witnesses of the wisdom, unity, harmony, and love in which He always acts. Our God has every good quality to the ultimate degree, and every attribute works in perfect and faithful harmony. Studying God in His wholeness should teach us humility, caution in speech and action, and a deep reverence of Him. Human life is a beginning: God made us in His image and is transforming us into the image of His Son. In bringing us to His perfection, He reveals His whole nature so we can know it and allow Him to reproduce it in us.

The essence of Christian hope rests on faith in God's unwavering nature. Our faith is founded on the trustworthiness of God to keep His promises, reflecting His unchanging and immutable character. In all situations, God remains constant and consistent, always keeping His word without succumbing to emotional or impulsive actions. His immutability ensures that He never changes His mind about His plan or His requirements for salvation, though He may use different approaches to account for human variability, His standards and goals remain fixed. We can rest assured that the God we worship is eternally the same. God never makes a promise or declaration that He fails to uphold for all eternity. If He says He will do something, He does it, confirming by an oath that His will is immutable. He cannot lie, and His mind and intentions never change, anchoring all hope of salvation and eternal life on the fact that He and His purpose are steadfast. He cannot and will not ever break a promise. Whatever God does shall be forever; nothing can be added to or taken from it. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart enduring to all generations. In contrast to the chaos and confusion of humanity's ever-changing world, the absolute perfection and unadulterated truth of the coming Kingdom are designed by a God who has permanently established all principles of eternal existence. He leaves nothing to chance, and we find comfort in our confidence that He and all He has promised and declared are unchanging. God guarantees that what He has spoken, He will bring to pass; what He has purposed, He will do. While some biblical passages may portray God as responding to human actions, this does not imply a change in His law, promises, or purpose. As a Teacher, Parent, or Judge, God maintains the right and power to bless or curse, to extend mercy, or to reverse His judgment in accordance with our response to Him. If we change in alignment with His will or fail to do so, He must, by His design and unchanging purpose, adjust His disposition toward us. Ultimately, God's immutability grants us assurance that He who has begun a good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. In a world of constant and unpredictable change, we find stability and peace in a God who does not change, whose truth and values are grounded in His divine, unchanging nature.

God Does Not Change The true God is not a man that He should lie. God is not a hypocrite who speaks out of both sides of His mouth. The great God of heaven and earth is not the author of confusion, a double-speaking hypocrite, or a false minister. Romans 3:3-4 affirms that even if some do not believe, their unbelief does not make the faithfulness of God without effect. Let God be true, though every man be a liar, that He may be justified in His words and overcome when He is judged. The Bible, from beginning to end, teaches of God's faithfulness, His trustworthiness, and His reliability. Our faith is founded upon and continually strengthened by His steadfastness. Who could trust a God who changed His mind about the very elements of His plan to give us salvation? He declares, For I am the LORD, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. God has not changed; His purpose and His plan for carrying that purpose out continue as they always have.

God's changelessness is a cornerstone of His character, reflecting His unwavering faithfulness and steadfast love. James 1:17 affirms that with the Father of Lights, there is no variation or shadow of turning. Hebrews 13:8 further declares that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This immutable nature assures us that His love and grace are not fleeting or inconsistent. Through the Lord's mercies, as Lamentations 3:22-23 states, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not; they are new every morning, demonstrating His great faithfulness. Despite the conduct of the Israelites, God always acted with mercy, kindness, goodness, and strong, steadfast love, revealing a consistent covenant commitment. This unchanging aspect of His being provides the foundation for our hope and the assurance of His continuous flow of grace in our lives.
